Where you can train in Cockenzie.

Cockenzie has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.

What training in Cockenzie actually involves.

Where to train in Cockenzie

13 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Cockenzie. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have The Mercat Gait Centre, Castle Park Bowling Club and Saltire Team Gymnastics, the nearest of them about 1.5 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.

The Mercat Gait Centre and Castle Park Bowling Club are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.

Where to run around Cockenzie

Meadowmill parkrun, roughly 1.5 km from the centre of Cockenzie, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.

A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
